Hey, i have a s7 edge that i attempted to root but bricked instead, it booted to the Verification failed, please factory reset screen. I tap Reset and it goes to TWRP. So i wiped System,data,cache,internal storage thinking it would work but i messed up the whole thing!!
I tried flashing the stock firmware via odin but it always fails on 'sboot.bin'. I don't know what to do. Please help. Smart switch doesn't detect the phone.....
edit: i have just found that sboot.bin fails because of a outdated bootloader? would downloading the latest firmware from sammobile work?? i really need the phone working as quick as i can

Yea it could be the issue ,as u can't downgrade bootloader only update it with newer version.
Also if that doesn't help but hopefully will ,try nand erase and repit too.

I've gotten no help at all with this. Very unlike this forum. My phone is a kltevew, which is straight talks version of a g900v. I need help, there are lots of great looking Roms that require you to have mm firmware I'd like to try!
Not sure why I'm getting g no responses on this. Surely someone must know something... The only response I got was not only not helpful but jerky and obnoxious. Doesn't anyone know how to upgrade the firmware on my phone? (And no, google has no answers for me on this.. I look everyday)

Download it with samfirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (Model= SM-G900V Region= VZW) or from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900V/ , do you know how to flash firmware with odin?
I do. Thanks so much for responding. Every time I try with Odin, a few different releases, it always gives me the error message fail. Can it be done with flashfire?
What stands in the log of odin when the flash completes?
Ill have to do it again to see... Be back in a bit!
I think it says FAIL! modem but I'll have to run it again... Brb
Last night I used flash fire to install firmware. That didn't get past the red Verizon logo, so I put twrp on it with Odin. Twrp showed it as dpd1, but it just wouldn't boot. So I wiped it once and flashed a ROM that requires mm firmware. Same thing, justbootloop. So I put stock back on it, then mokee 6.0.1. which works, I'm just not on mm firmware and all the great new roms are still unavailable to me.

Have you enabled the option to flash bootloader on flashfire setting?
What? No, I haven't... but do do right now. Thanks for the tip! Actually, where would I find it?
So would I do it in this order? Flash the dpd1 bootloader, then modem, them rom, then jrkruse patch? All in flash fire?

It's in setting of flashfire...but only do it if odin doesn't work because do it from flashfire is more riskiy...
1)do a backup
2)check the bootloader flash option
3)install the firmware with all the wipe except internal storage(it mean that flashfire delete /data excluding /data/media/0 (sdcard) but include it in your backup copy because you never know )
4)wait till reboot skip setup wizard "spamming" the next button then install the rom with flashfire or twrp
On the flashfire site i found this:
Flash bootloaders
"This setting controls if FlashFire will attempt to flash bootloader partitions. By default, bootloader partitions are only read and never written. Even when enabled, flashing bootloader partitions may not succeed - many devices have protections in place against the bootloaders being overwritten.
Please note that flashing bootloaders is extremely dangerous. Any bug, error, or failure may result in an unrecoverable hard-brick. Do not use this feature unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Due to the danger of this feature, it is automatically turned off every time FlashFire starts. You have to manually re-enable it every time you want to use it.
If you must flash bootloaders, it is advised to use a bootloader-based flashing tool such as fastboot or ODIN to do it, as these are the safest methods. OTAs may also update bootloaders, and though slightly less safe than fastboot/ODIN, it is still much safer than having FlashFire flash bootloader partitions directly."
So i suggest to try to flash the firmware directly from odin first
No dice... still doesn't boot up past the red Verizon logo

did you install the firmware in the "AP" box on odin? (after you factory reset your phone)
I did. At this point guess I'm lucky I haven't bricked my phone. Ive tried every possible combination, nothing works!

Redownload the firmware extract it again,factory reset your phone,and try to install the firmware,maybe it's a bad download
Should I be flashing a kernel too? Will it even start/boot without the right kernel?
find out if you phone is refurbished. to install stock ROM you would need the main board and boot to be the same model.
if it's not, then you just need to install bootloader/modem without full ROM. look around in xda for bootloader/modem.
First of all let me say that I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
So I was trying to unlock to bootloader on my phone from KitKat 4.4.2 (NCG)
I was impatient and did something stupid.
I flashed the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 file with Odin and repartitioned with the PIT file.
Of course it didn't work... Annnnnd I bricked... (Softbrick).
So after trying a few other things to no avail I panicked and booted into Stock Recovery Mode and did a full wipe/factory reset, wiped cache, then booted back into DL Mode and TRIED to flash the stock firmware to start over. The problem is the ODIN flash keeps failing and I don't know what to do.
I tried downloading the Stock Firmware from multiple sources and it keeps failing.
So I'm starting to freak out a little.
I can still successfully flash the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 but that doesn't help me.
Any Help?

@Bren123, I've passed this to @stang5litre earlier today and not sure if hes gotten with the user yet. What do you think he needs to do? I mentioned to the user via PM that he needs to do a backup of everything, which is including a Nandroid but didn't mention if did or didn't. If so, should try that first? Should've just unlocked the bootloader first with what ROM it's currently using and then go from there to update.....hadn't had time to get back to them....not home yet. Appreciate it guys!!

Well to be honest I would just go to BPB1 here is the BPB1 Stock tar for odin (different than the one your using) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571
And use this pit https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765167 in the pit slot in odin could be in the options on the left
And flash then report back any errors if odin gives one

Hey guys, in a bit of a pickle.
I'm helping a buddy fix his Verizon S8. We were flashing stock firmware back onto it (never been rooted//unlocked) and afterwards when it boots into recovery, it says "Erasing" and then powers off. We've got it into the boot recovery thing and tried to reset it from there as well as recovery and it does the same thing. I've had him just flash CSC with Odin and to no prevail.
Suggestions would be appreciated. Repartition and nand erase look interesting, thoughts?

It wont boot into Android. We've flashed the latest pie build with Odin and nothing.
It sounds like a bootloader problem to me, as sometimes recovery wont even pop up.

Hello, I had the same problem.
Before you flash restore your phone to factory default ....settings.....general ......
or by stock recovery mode ...... https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...s10-into-recovery-mode-download-mode-0194521/
and perform a factory data reset .
Then I flashed with Odin 3.13. only the AP_File. (AP_G975FXXS3ASH1_CL16487975_QB25171324_REV01_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar)
This is the latest official Firmware for Samsung 10+ (Exynos).... SM-G975F_1_20190805141127_n52ujmrqr9_fac
Best regards

I'm just doing this with this advice here, and only running the AP_File as advised. Hope the S10 doesn't get bricked because I have not loaded other files.
Also seems Odin is in state, SYSTEM, which is now so far 20mins and don't seem to see more progress
for those who updated the german beta (android 12), remember to unlock your bootloader in settings, because the knox get triggered after detecting different system files and the original bootloader, if u unlock the bootloader, it lets odin rewrite it and get the PASS
Hi,
my S8 is stuck on SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 , POWERED BY ANDROID screen.
I tried flash G950FXXU5DSFB and COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1 , but no success.
Later I tried flash stock fw with DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_OMR30M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN45M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit
But no fix.
Odin always shows Success, but phone can not enter recovery and can not wipe cache/factory reset.
The only I can enter is download mode and flash again.
I am thinking, that recovery part of eMMC chip can be damaged.
Is it possible to edit .pit file to move everything somewhere further and fix this problem?
Or do somebuddy have any other idea how to fix this problem?
Thx.

Really nothing ???
I'm facing the same issue.. did you figure it out??
It's probably of your bootloader, just update it to the latest, update it correctly.

I mean install bootloader separately, on it's own, and the firmware separately without the built-in BL, might fix your problem.
